Meridians of longitude run north and south. Parallels of latitude run east and west.
Those are called Latitude lines
longitude
The lines that run east and west are called latitude lines. The lines that run north and south are called longitude lines. Together, they form a grid that can be used to locate any point on the Earth.
Lines of latitude are imaginary lines that run north and south around the Earth. Meridian of longitude are imaginary lines that run east and west around the Earth. These lines work together to show locations on a map or globe.
North and South
The lines on a globe that run north and south are called lines of longitude, or meridians. They measure distance east or west from the arbitrary Prime Meridian or Greenwich Meridian, established as 0° longitude.
its called side lines
Meridians of longitude run north and south. Parallels of latitude run east and west.
lines of equal longitude, a.k.a. meridians

Parallels are lines that run the same direction and are the always the same distance apart. On a map (and the Earth) the lines of latitude (measurement North and South of the equator) are parallel.
The lines that run east and west are called latitude lines. The lines that run north and south are called longitude lines. Together, they form a grid that can be used to locate any point on the Earth.
It's the Prime Meridian (Hope I spelled that right!) Hope that helped!
The lines that run north and south "or long ways" are longitude lines. East and west are latitude lines.
It is called a grid system (or map coordinates), and is used to identify locations on the map. It is made of latitude and longitude lines. The latitude lines are also called parallels and they run west to east. Longitude lines, also known as meridians, run north to south.
In general, longitudinal lines run in the direction of the length (longer dimension) of a thing. On a globe or map representing Earth or another celestial object, longitudinal lines run north-south, from pole to pole. Because they meet at two points, they are neither parallel nor equidistant.
lines of longide
longitudinal lines run north/south; Latitudinal lines run east/west
Lines of latitude are imaginary lines that run north and south around the Earth. Meridian of longitude are imaginary lines that run east and west around the Earth. These lines work together to show locations on a map or globe.
